Someone recently asked me how to start a web page and view it on the computer. Just use the following code - and check out my explanations further down the post.
<html>
<head>
<title>Add the title of your webpage here</title>
</head>
<body>
This is where all of the code will go that the VIEWER will see.
</body>
</html>As you can see - to start an HTML web page, it's pretty simple actually. You need the <html> tags showing the browser that this is html they are dealing with, and then the BODY and HEAD tags. Everything in the <head></head> area is NOT seen by the viewers. Everything in the <body></body> area IS seen by the end viewer.
When you save this bit of code (using Notepad to type it out), save it as index.html
Then you can right click on the file and open with your favorite browser. Whoila! Your first web page! Play around with this code a little bit - and once you start to understand how to start a page, come back and ask more questions!
*Please note that just by making your web page - it doesn't mean its online yet! You are only viewing your web page locally on your computer.
